The watch is built around an Arduino Pro Mini, a scavenged Nokia LCD, and aBlueSMiRF Gold. The Bluetooth connects to a Nokia N900 with a little Bluetooth client app. Designer also wrote a small GUI for the watch’s LCD display. Afterwards, he was able to display missed calls, new email, and is now working on support for changing songs on his N900′s media player.
Admittedly, a little work needs to be done on the enclosure. Still, the potential for this watch is much greater than the iPod as a watch project we saw last year. Right now, we’re thinking about what could be added to [Ahmet]‘s watch. An accelerometer would probably be on the top of our list, but if you have any ideas feel free to leave them in the comments.
